  1. I just feel for the guests you know .Last year there was a power cut at Cwoa and only one ride remained open... that was one of the Berry Bouncers. Yes one of them (the worst ride at Cwoa to operate) wouldn't stop.. :PBut yeah, congratulations to everyone who is now working at Thorpe. It won't always be the best job in the world but it is a lot of fun, you meet great people and will always remember it =)
  2. Basically the track wasn't changed but the way the ride runs changed. In the old days the train didn't stop on Lift 2, instead it would go straight over. Now if there was a hold up in the station for whatever reason, the trains would stack up but there wasn't enough room for both trains in the breaks. Instead the two trains waiting to go in the station would lightly hit each other. Towards the end of the old Vampire's life, it only ran two trains and the third became a spare part train.
  3. It's ironic that a ride that can barely be found, let alone rid, has the grandest music at Chessington
  4. I always found the whole disabled policy a farce to be honest with you. For instance, I'm slightly short sighted which means that I technically have a disability. It's stopping me working on train stations so does that mean I could go to guest services with my optician letter and say I should have a wristband because without my glasses I cannot queue properly.The main problem is obviously, where is the line drawn. I once had this disabled guest at Toadies, and he didn't have any legs. I told the first person in the queue that they would be the car after the next and she started having a go at me saying "oh I'm tired, does that mean I can skip queues to." Suffice to say this woman watching two people struggling to get a no-legged disabled person shut up pretty quickly. In that case, they obviously should get disabled wristbands as they can't exactly walk. But should a person with a broken arm get one? I would say no, but guests services would say yes.
  5. The staff can work as hard as they please, its the guests that create the majority of problems. If there were no guests, rides could run perfectly

    Rita

    Well the thing is only people who are into rides would really notice that many similarities between Stealth and Rita. Ok it launches, but I doubt non-fans would care how, track design, train design etc etc.
  7. 700 average, 850 max. That's my bet and I'm sticking to it
  8. The sound of a Fury car being dispatched. Particularly when the car doesn't stop in the station at all, just goes straight out. Its a beautiful notion.. *sighs*

    I'm very sorry to hear that.
  10. It won't get even close to the apparent 1050 throughput.

    Corkscrew

    Corkscrew time-lapse videoSo the final end of the Corkscrew. Of note is that its corkscrews have been saved and may be put back into the park in the future. For one last time, Corky, take a bow.

    Now, there was a timewhen they used to saythat behind ev'ry great man,there had to be a great woman.But oh, in these times of change,you know that it's no longer true.So we're comin' out of the kitchen,'cause there's something we forgot to say to you.We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves,standin' on their own two feetand ringin' on their own bells.We say, Sisters are doin' itfor themselves.Now, this is a song to celebratethe conscious liberation of the female state.Mothers, daughters,and their daughters too, woh yeah,woman to woman,we're singing with you, ooh, ooh.The "inferior sex" has got a new exterior.We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too,ooh ooh ooh, ooh.Ev'rybody, take a look around.Can you see, can you see, can you see,there's a woman right next to youou.We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves,standin' on their own two feetand ringin' on their own bells.Sisters are doin' itfor themselves.Now we ain't makin' stories,and we ain't layin' plans.Don't you know that a man still loves a woman,and a woman still loves a manjust the same, though.Ooh ooh oohooh ooh ooh ooh.Sisters are doin' itfor themselves.There was a time,oh, when they used to saythat behind ev'ry great man,there had to be a great woman.In these times of change,you know that it's no longer true.So we're comin' out of the kitchen,'cause there's something we forgot to say to you.We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves,standin' on their own two feetand ringin' on their own bells.Sisters are doin' itfor themselves.Sisters are doin' itfor themselvesselves.Sisters are doin' it, doin' it,doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it…Sisters are doin' it for themselves,uhhuh, uhhuh, yeah.Sisters are doin' it for themselves,uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh, yeah.Sisters are doin' itfor themselves.I say, yeah, yeah,Sisters are doin' it for themselves,standin' on their…Sisters are doin' itfor themselves.

  15. From what I can tell, a support needs replacing and a footer needs to be reset. As Nemesis is such a forceful ride and the rides landscape is constantly moving, Nemesis needs a lot of work compared to its B&M brothers.
  16. HELL YES! That food is absolutely gorgeous. Even without AP discount its worth every penny. Far better then the fast food.

    So basically as long as I have sex sometimes but not to often and sing at the same time, I should have a happy life?
  18. Post your random images here.. because its fun?
  19. Drayton has more problems then pretty much every park in the UK. Whatever they add will have some enormous problems, which is probably why they are going more down the family ride route.
  20. It was Thorpe Park yeah. In the end I got the number of a friend who worked there and had to call them to find out what was going on. I never found out if I got the job as by that time I was settled at Chessington.I wouldn't worry though, whenever they can, they will get in contact with you.
  21. It could be anything. For me, they lost my phone number and my passport details.
